I can only offer my own experiences.
But Vista and DX 10 have given me absolutley no problems. They run just as well as xp and DX9 and look better.
Actually, you might want to reconsider that second person pronoun, because as I have said before... No problems here.
i would agree with that up until I blew my vid card and bought an upgrade, now for the OS to operate properly I have to figure out why my CPU is consistently at max load with this new vid card with the latest drivers.

Don't you have to reactive Vista when you change hardware? I heard that somewhere but I haven't changed any hardware yet so I don't know.
XP has been my favorite although 2000 was a close second. Don't know why you liked 98-- it would crash your computer and then you'd have to wait through that ridiculous scan when it started up again--and because it used FAT32, you neede to defrag it continuously--another time consuming process. The only thing I liked about 98 was the DOS support--too bad MS scrapped that by they had to to go to NTFS OS.
And sometimes even a change to the same brand of MOBO will fly by. I recently upgraded my mother-in-laws computer with new MOBO (same brand different model) and processor (AMD Dual Core from single) and Windows XP booted right up--I was shocked--first of all because I expected I'd have to reinstall Windows (I've had to many times with less hardware change) and then re-activate it (and she had no clue where her original CD was or her product activation code). I thought' I'd have to beg Microsoft for a product activation by telephone.
For those of you who don't know--there are a number of places to download an XP CD off the Internet you can use to reinstall XP--you'll just have to activate it in 30 days. But it comes in handy in situations where someone has lost their original CD or were never given it.
